The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has donated to South Middlesex Opportunity Council. Grant funds will be used for the purchase and installation of 24 security cameras at the Gordon Street Family Shelter. The video monitoring system will provide added security and peace of mind for the resident families as they transition from the temporary housing shelter to their long-term goal of achieving permanent housing.
